Peanut Butter Butterscotch Chippers

These Peanut Butter Butterscotch cookies may have changed my life forever, no joke. It all started a couple weeks ago when Amanda and I were cruising around San Diego and popped into the famous “Spread” Restaurant. It has been featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate on Food Network and now I completely see why! They specialize in making their own creative gourmet peanut butter spreads that are beyond your wildest imagination I would never believed it until I took my first spoonful. It was all over from there. I chose the butterscotch gourmet peanut butter spread and the white chocolate pretzel….swoon!

Here’s the cute little container. This little baby will cost you $10, but worth every lick. So, here’s why my cookie was created. I did NOT use this spread in my cookies, but put my own ingredients in. I had to have the whole tub to myself

Start by melting butterscotch chips over a double broiler until melted.

Cream your butter and sugars.

Add your melted butterscotch chips and Peanut Butter

Add your egg and mix it up!

Now time for your dry ingredients.

Roll each scoop of cookie dough into sugar.

Place onto a cookie sheet and time to bake. 9-11 minutes at 350 degrees F.

2. Place flour, baking soda and salt in bowl; mix to combine. Add to wet ingredients until just combined then pour in butterscotch chips. Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough, roll in sugar then place onto baking sheet. Press tops with tines of a fork if desired. I did it both ways and both are great. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cooked through. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

Omg i LIVE 10 BLOCKS from Spread in San Diego and I’ve never been in there….and I adore adore adore PB + Butterscotch. I have seriously met my weakness and will gladly spend $10 for a tiny jar of heaven

The picture shows butterscotch chips but the recipe calls to melt all of the chips down. I am confused!! They look good but it sounds like the recipe would make a smoother cookie with the chips incorporated and the picture makes me believe it’s like a peanut butter cookie with chunky chips. Hmmm…

Hi Monica,
You incorporate 1 Cup of melted butterscotch chips into the recipe and all normal butterscotch chips too after you add the dry ingredients It makes for one DELICIOUS cookie. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Butterscotch and peanut butter seems like a great combination, Jenny! I read Amanda’s post about Spread the other day – thinking about ordering my sister some of their products for her birthday. She’s a peanut butter addict!

Never been to San Diego so I am pretty jealous of your fancy peanut butter spreads. I love love love PB so its actually probably better if I don’t go there! Also never tried PB and Butterscotch, sounds like an awesome combo though…can’t wait to try these!

OMG. I took one look at that jar of peanut butter and had to have some. Since I live on the east coast, I won’t be visiting Spread any time soon…so I just ordered $100.00 worth of peanut butter from their website! What the heck am I going to tell my husband when 10 jars of peanut butter show up on my doorstep!? LOL, he may plan a peanut butter intervention…=)

OMG! These sound amazing. Have you ever tried haystacks? I make a simplified version and all you need a 2:1 ratio of butterscotch chips to peanut butter. Melt in microwave keeping an eye to not burn. Then add chow mein noodles until coated to your liking. Put little stacks of them on a wax paper coated baking sheet to set in the fridge and TADA!! Everyone who tries them loves them and makes me bring them to every party. Plus they are so simple to make.

Thats so funny, when I first saw the tiny container I thought – no way did she dump that into the cookies!! “Spread” sounds like an AWESOME place. PB is one of my all time favorite foods – next time I am down that way I will look for it. Thanks for some great cookies girl! xo

Ok, so I just hit the send button on my order from SPREAD. Over $80 worth! I am going to be on a peanut butter high when these babies arrive in the mail next week! I can’t wait to taste all the wonderful flavors! Thank you Jenny for letting us all know if this great gem

I made these 2 days ago and they are fantastic! (I also made your oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies the same night) Rolling the dough in sugar before baking adds an extra tasty touch. These will definitely be in the regular rotation. They are heavenly
